On the Road - Structures

A very personal and observant set of images, no doubt photographing these was a terrific therapeutic experience contrasting with what I imagine to be a stressful day job. The Martin Parr references resonate with me too, but in a positive way.
When photographers submit a range of images for others to see, as here, many like to pick out personal favourites for comment but I generally prefer to take an overall view of the set as that somehow demonstrates how the photographer's mind is working. But I must say I love the graphic lines of 2 and 3 and the selective piece of Blackpool Tower with the lift perfectly placed to satisfy even the most particular of composition experts. The passing seagull helps too.

A great set and the spire of Belfast cathedral is very well done.

I rarely have my camera with me when I'm working away and tend to have little free time anyway. Looking at your pictures has prompted me to make sure I take my camera with me next time.

Thanks David and Nigel for detailed thoughts and comments re these... much appreciated my end... David, yes, I tend to find it's very much a yin yang type thing for me... helps a lot re balance with the day job, and they often complement /feed each other, I find...

You can't pick a favourite as there are too many great images

What a set

The first 4 just jump out for me,
The convergence in #1 is is perfect, that you have framed it as you have, by cutting out the foreground and lower part of the buildings just add to the over all effect. Makes you think.

I've always been a big fan of your shooting style / styles, that you can see something in isolation, out of context, from its environment, while still being in it, is stunning.
Looking forward to seeing more ☺☺☺
I know what i like, If not always why.
